Lets make the SEND world, everyone's world
Making SEND a better place. For everyone.
Welcome to Trafford Parents Forum
We are so glad you have found us here in the world of SEND in Trafford! We support and work with parent carers and families of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) with or without a diagnosis across all areas of disability across Trafford.
Trafford Parents Forum is currently the Department for Education (DfE) funded parent carer forum in Trafford, established as an independent parent carer led forum in 2013 and became a limited company by guarantee, not for profit in 2014. We are led by a strong team with the majority being parent carers and at various stages of the SEND journey in Trafford as we believe that such 'lived experience' is invaluable to other parent carers.
Our Vision
Our vision is to work together with the local authority, key stakeholders and other local community organisations across Trafford and Greater Manchester to share best practice and promote positive collaboration to deliver effective engagement and participation with parent carers. By increasing participation of parent carers 'lived experiences' across Trafford we aim to help improve services and outcomes for our SEND children and young people and their families.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support, empower and inform parent carers and families of children and young people with SEND so they can develop their skills and knowledge to become the best advocate for their children and young people. To help and enable our parent carers and families achieve this we mentor, support and provide information and training to develop and build their confidence and resilience.
